Catalyst::Test configuration questions

[Evan Carroll-3]

My latest project, a Craigslist posting tool, is configured through
the applications yaml conf file. I'm looking for a way to test based
the conf file with Catalyst::Test. Any idea of how to accomplish this?

So, you want your tests to be configured based on a yaml config file? Or you want to base your tests off of a yaml config file?

I'm not sure there is a difference as you word it.

I want to dynamically modify the configuration of my application for
the purpose of testing. That configuration is loaded from a yaml. I'm
unsure of how to to load a different yaml-conf for the purpose of
testing alternate configurations, or of how to best manipulate the
configuration of my app after the load to simulate a test in a
different environments then the default.

http://github.com/EvanCarroll/Craiglickr/blob/master/craiglickr.yaml

Craiglickr:
  location:
    cross_posting: 1
    cross_metro: 0
    max: 4
  category:
    cross_posting: 0


I want to test different settings such as if cross_metro was set to 1,
or of cross_posting was set to 0, and such.

http://search.cpan.org/~bricas/Catalyst-Plugin-ConfigLoader-0.27/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/ConfigLoader.pm

get_config_local_suffix

Determines the suffix of files used to override the main config. By default this value is local, which will load myapp_local.conf. The suffix can be specified in the following order of preference:

• $ENV{ MYAPP_CONFIG_LOCAL_SUFFIX }
• $ENV{ CATALYST_CONFIG_LOCAL_SUFFIX }
• $c->config->{ 'Plugin::ConfigLoader' }->{ config_local_suffix }

The first one of these values found replaces the default of local in the name of the local config file to be loaded.

For example, if $ENV{ MYAPP_CONFIG_LOCAL_SUFFIX } is set to testing, ConfigLoader will try and load myapp_testing.conf instead of myapp_local.conf.

cheers,

J
